Chemical archives in fishes beyond otoliths: A review on the use of other body parts as chronological recorders of microchemical constituents for expanding interpretations of environmental, ecological, and life‐history changes (2017, background): “The most commonly analyzed stable isotopes (d13C and d15N) are primarily deposited into basal-layer collagen, but can also become incorporated into the hydroxyapatite matrix (Hutchinson and Trueman 2006; Ventura and Jeppesen 2010).”
Evaluating the utility of stable isotope analyses of archived freshwater sample materials (2008, background): “Morbey et al. (2007) used also the inner area of the scale for comparison with outer sections in their retrospective study of lake trout feeding, but such comparisons are hindered by the mixing of different growth periods as scales also add thickness and length as fish grow ( Hutchinson & Trueman, 2”
Chemical Composition of Fish Hard Parts as a Natural Marker of Fish Stocks (2014, background): “The hard, mineralized outer layer grows in area over time through formation of concentric growth increments, referred to as circuli (Hutchinson and Trueman, 2006).”
